-Inspired by the environment of New Zealand, there are such as quite lot of view to photograph. In this shoot I don't have a fixable artist model all the photos I search for landscape and try to photograph like them.
In the first I use different camera angle to photograph and use the reflection of the lake and I think my first is not bad but still have some things to improve. Such as I can use other camera skill like shutter speech at my first shoot I try to use it but not the effect I want.
Next time I will probably use shutter speech to do photograph and try to use different kind of skill to finish the shoot.
Artist model is Wayne Wilson-Wong
-Landscape
-angles
-colourful
This holiday I went to Ohakune so my shoot 2 is photographing from there. I inspired by Wayne Wilson-Wong. So of his photograph is about hills so I decide to photograph the snow mountain. This time I didn't photograph so clearly and include that much details. But I did like my composition Next time I will include more detail and try to make it less blurry.
The key feature of his work is
-Black and white
-Still life
-Lighting
-Line
-Shape
Visual Analysis
Inspired/ideas
-dry flower/not alive plant
-Shadows
-Lines
-Black and white
This shoot I inspired by Andre Kertesz the plant and flower which he photographed I love very much. In second image he not only photograph the flower in vase but also I can see the clean vertical line. Thus, I use this idea apply on my shoot 3. I am satisfy with my work but the one thing I have to improve is trying to use another skill that I learnt not only photograph in a simple way.
-Black and white background
-Blurry background
-Colourful and clean foreground
-Symmetrical
-Still life
-Leaves
-blurry the background
-horizontal line
This shoot I use Jerry Takigawa to be my artist model. I use the blurry and monochrome background, and I add some of my idea to photograph this shoot like; mirror and I use some reflection thing to help me whish is the chocolate packet, the inside part of it. Due to match my theme so I replaced the bottle cup to leaves. I use the mirror to do the reflection of the background I chose, and I really like the effort and I try different camera angle to photograph it. However, this shoot I don't have enough idea for how to photograph it. And I will use some other technique in my next shoot.

Is your work technically strong? Exposure, colour cast etc. What needs improvement?
I think is close up and mid shot because I wanna to zoom in to an object when I do my new shoot.
No, My work not technically strong enough ,I think some of my shoots are too blurry I gonna fix that problem in my following shoot.
Artist models.
